The Emergency Critical Care Program at Stanford University

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The Emergency Crew Care Program (ECCP) at Stanford Hospital prioritizes critical care patients in the ED by utilizing an ECC attending, dual-trained in emergency and critical care medicine, for immediate consultation and management. This model optimizes ICU resource use by enabling early patient downgrades, thus saving ICU beds and reducing in-hospital mortality by 6% for intermediate-severity patients. The program's effectiveness was evaluated through a difference-in-difference analysis, showing no increase in ED or hospital length of stay. ECCP operates during peak hours, leveraging existing ED resources and personnel efficiently without requiring additional space.
